Ch 5 Prats and Dragons
Dedicated to Jettie...cause she's cool like that.
----
The first task of the Triwizard tournament was a very suspenseful one for all of the Hogwarts students, and the visiting students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.
Draco sat between his trusty burly sidekicks, Crabbe and Goyle. Trying to warm up on the particularly frosty afternoon. All of the Slytherin's adorned badges that said:
Support Cedric Diggory The Real Hogwarts Champion
Draco had come up with the idea himself, and considered it quite clever. Many of the Gryffindor's had begged to differ, and shot him hateful glances when they passed his clan in the hallway. But Draco Malfoy was used to being hated. Everyone did anyway. His parents thought he was a terrible excuse for a child; a disappointment. His house, the Slytherin's hated him because of his bragging and arrogant disposition, even though they worshipped him when near. All the other houses hated him because of his tormenting nature.
But Draco lived with it. After all, Draco Malfoy was used to being hated.

Corin and Necia sat in the stands, watching the tournament, not particularly interested. Helena, on the other hand, kept yelling;
"Come on Harry! You can do it!"
"Helena, geez. You're Slytherin, you're sposed to hate Potter over there." Necia yelled over the rowdy Gryffindors.
"So?" Helena said back
"So!? Support Diggory! Everyone else is!" Necia retorted back
"Well, I would much prefer supporting "the boy who lived" rather then a self-absorbed prat like Diggory." Helena replied a pitch too loud
"WHAT'D YOU SAY?? CEDRIC DIGGORY IS NO PRAT" a third year Hufflepuff wearing a "GO CEDRIC" shirt screamed in Helena's face
"Who asked you?" Helena retorted back and continued talking to Necia. "So, who is this "Christoph?""
Necia sighed "Possibly the hottest guy I have ever seen. We sat together in Transfiguration"
Corin laughed "Hotter than Mr. Riese over there?"
"Possibly.." Necia winked
"Well, where is he??" Helena questioned
"Right.." Necia pointed "there."
"Oh, he is a dish" Corin pointed out the obvious
"No shit Sherlock." Helena added
----
Corin smiled at the Helena and Necia and continued to watch the game. "This is how it always is. Necia and Helena talk and talk, and I am left out to the side." Corin had learnt to deal with it. But every once in a while, Corin felt very left out, like right now.
Corin watched as Viktor Krum tried to get an egg from a dragon, vaguely interested. "I wonder what little Miss Necia would do if Christoph went to the Yule Ball with me.." Corin fancied. "I think it's about time Cristoph and I met.."

Adam sat with Olga on the front row, cheering for Durmstrang. He looked around, trying to find Helena. "Why did I break up with her?" He questioned himself over and over again. "Why Why Why?"
Soon the match was over. Adam wasn't very interested in it anyway. But he caught up with Helena soon afterwards,
"Helena! Hey," Adam said
"What do you want?" Helena questioned, her friends behind her looked at him hatefully
"Um..I'm really sorry Helena. I don't know why I broke up with you..." Adam started
"Well I know, because you're a selfish prat who can't make up their mind. And who also thinks that after he broke up with the girl he supposedly "loved" that she would be waiting with open arms. Well get this asshole, I'm not interested, and I never will be." Helena replied, cutting him off. And heading back to the castle.
Adam frowned "That was new." Adam wasn't used to rejection, at least not by girls. Adam ran after her and tapped her shoulder,
"Helena, just—"he started again
"Fuck off" Helena and her two friends headed to the castle.

Matt stood by the bleachers with Alex, waiting for Cedric, who was shaking hands with Dumbledore. He finally left and came over to them, grinning.
"Well, how was it?" Alex questioned automatically
"Perfect. Probably the most fun I've had in a while" Cedric replied back, grinning ear to ear.
"Well I'd imagine. You were bloody fantastic Cedric." Matt said
Cedric laughed "Why thank you" and began to bow, over dramatically.
Matt noticed that Cho Chang was standing behind him. And stifled a laugh. She put her hands over his eyes and said:
"Guess who.."
Cedric looked around and saw her and hugged her, then started kissing her.
"Well this is our cue" Alex laughed
"Geez, take a breath you two" Matt chuckled and left with Matt.
----
Clarissa left with Xander, smiling.
"Well that was quite a match, wasn't it?" Clarissa beamed
"Yeah it was." Xander smiled and started "The Yule ball's coming up soon right?"
"Yeah it is.." Clarissa started and then heard her name being called by some students from Beauxbatons. "Well I gotta go." Clarissa kissed Xanders cheek and went to the group to join them.
"Hullo, how're you?" Clarissa questioned
"Good, very good" the girl who had introduced herself as Odette said for the group. "Philip here has a question for you, Clarissa" Odette pushed the tall Brown haired, blue eyed guy forward.
"Uh..I know you don't know me..but I was wondering if you would go to the Yule Ball with me, Clarissa" he questioned
"Sure! I'd be glad to." Clarissa smiled "Well he's cute" she thought
"Great" Philip grinned and then saw Madame Maxine gesturing for them to go back to the Carriage. "Well I should go.."
"Okay, see you later" Clarissa grinned and kissed him on the cheek and walked back up to the castle.

Necia sat down next to Helena in the library.
"I cant believe that that prat had the balls to ask you out, again." Necia said
"I know. What did he think? That I wanted to go out with him again? Ugh." Helena said back
"I know. He's a bloody prat. I bet Christoph's got some cute friends.." Necia started
"Necia, you two aren't even going out. Besides, I'm a big girl. I can handle things on my own." Helena said bitterly
"Just trying to help.." Necia started
"Yeah, well I don't need it" Helena retorted and left
"Well then. That's a first." Necia said "Helena's never bitter"
